Some times the first names are dropped after baptism , and They use only one given name. So You may want to check the LDS films of this town of Langenberg also. To order the films , go to the nearest Latter Day Saints Church . Their library are usually in a part of the church building , and order the films. Here in the U.S.A. the Church is listed in the phone book as " Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints " Karl Roussin ===================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karl Osten" <ostenfamily@yahoo.co.uk> To: <prussia-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 3:04 AM Subject: Re: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Tütz/Tuczno Hello Karl Thank you for your reply. My ancestors arrived in New Zealand in December1872. The ship they sailed on was the "Palmerston" that departed Hamburg in July 1872. My ancestors name was Carl Frederick Edward Osten, although on the passenger list his name is stated as Eduard Osten. He was aged 24. His wife, Emma Kropka aged 26 sailed with their two children Bruno aged 3 and Richard 6 months. How do I access the LDS microfilms.

Tütz is now named Tuczno, Poland. Does anyone know how I can search or obtain cemetery records for the town of Tütz/Tuczno? I am hoping that I may come across my ancestors family that may be buried there. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
